 Last time I said in TBR Cludeau that I was manifesting an incredible reading month, it happened in March. I read the most amount of books I've ever read in a month, so we're doing it again this month and hopefully we'll have a great reading month. Hello my friends, welcome to TBR Cludeau! My TBR game, themed off of Super Cludeau, I'll link the whole playlist down below, we can find out the rules. April has been an okay reading month, it hasn't been an incredible reading month, and I'm just hoping for May, oh I'm hoping we're gonna get the energy going, sorry this jacket's a bit noisy, I'll try not to just stickulate too much. May, you know spring is here, fun weather, I'm much happier when it's fun weather, and I'm hoping for good vibes in May, so maybe like the best highest rated reading month ever, that would be fun. I was looking at the videos I've got coming, the vlogs I've got coming in May, and a lot of them are ones that I either don't have set books I have to read for them, it's more like a reading experiment, or they're ones that I can't pick when I'm reading it, I have no idea what I'm reading, it's gonna happen in the moment, in the video, I'm not gonna have any choice. That's what's coming right, and so I was like, I could kind of read anything. Usually I go into TBR Cludeau knowing, okay these are some books that I've got, if I can get into the rooms that fit those genres, maybe I'll get a prompt that I can fit to that, etc, right? This month I kind of just went in blind, and I've just let TBR Cludeau do its thing, so shall we just get into the first roll? Okay roll number one, person number five, which is white over here in horror, let's see how many we roll, oh oh shit that was a two, that was a two, okay, oh we can just go one two, and that is number one, which is a new to me author. So roll one was a horror book, there was a new to me author, and this is the one that I gave to my patrons to vote, they vote on one round of TBR Cludeau every month, my Team Lux and Team Roroteers, and then that is our book club pick for the month, so that's how they decide what our book club pick is gonna be, and the options that I gave them were The Lakehouse by Sarah Beth Dest, White Horse by Erica T Worth, Pine by Francine Tune, and Rules for Vanishing by Kate Alice Marshall, and the winner by quite a way was Rules for Vanishing by Kate Alice Marshall. Now I actually don't own this book, I put it in here, I was like a last option because I needed, I didn't have actually that many books by authors that are horror that I've never read from before, and so I just put it in here as a fourth option, I have the audiobook but now I'm gonna have to get my hands on the physical book as well at some point. I haven't really much about it, I think it's a YA horror, I think about a wood where a lot of girls or a lot of people have been going vanishing, I do own What Lies in the Woods by Kate Alice Marshall which I think is an adult thriller more so than horror, but we haven't had horror in a long time, and so I thought this would be a fun, you know, be fun to give this to my patrons to vote on to the book club, we've been having a good year, I feel like in the book club, last year was a bit rocky, but this year we've had a good one and so I'm really excited to read this, I've heard really really good things and I'm excited to give my first Kate Alice Marshall a go. Row number two, person number two which is purple over in romance, let's see how many we roll, got a five and a one, I guess we just go one and get number 21 and that is a title with two words. Row number two was a romance with two words in the title and for this I have gone with spoiler alert by Olivia Dade because this is now one of the kind of older romances I have on my TBR that I haven't gotten around to yet and I just want to know what I think of it because I know this has kind of become a series, so the guy is a star on one of the biggest shows on TV but he's also a fan fiction writer which is fun and then the girl is a big fan of the show and she like cosplays and I think because she's plus size she posts like a cosplay online she gets made fun of and he like asks her out on a date essentially I think is the general the general synopsis of this and it's just time that I love more romance authors other than Ali Hazelwood and Talia Hibbert, a kind of my safety romance authors that I know I'm gonna enjoy. I recently read Abby Jimenez and I loved part of your world, it was so good so I'm excited to see what I think of this one. Role number three. Person number one which is Green over here in fantasy. We've rolled a five and a two. Let's go one two three four five six seven which is number 26 which is oh it's something I've been scared to read. Okay. Role number three was a fantasy that I've been scared to read. I don't feel like to look at it, we'll see more but they weren't really kind to me this month. I have chosen rule of wolves by Lee Bardugo. I'm petrified. I think I'm right in saying unless I'm having like a brain fart this is like the only Grisha verse book I haven't read yet right this is like the latest most up-to-date Grisha verse book and I'm just nervous because I didn't love the Shadow and Bone trilogy. I loved Six of Crows and Cree Kingdom. Didn't love King of Scars and I'm just nervous for this right because I feel like this has more character than it than from Shadow and Bone that it does Six of Crows and I just don't know if it's gonna be for me and I've just been putting it off. It was actually wrapped up as like one of the books I was least excited to read but I decided to read it for this because it means finishing off another series. I do love the cover. I know some people don't love it. This is like one of my favorite covers ever. I just love the colors like it. Something about Leigh Bardugo she always has good covers. I've been really nervous to read this. I've been putting it off and I feel like it's time we finish another geology but yeah I just don't know how I'm gonna react to this right so you're following Nikolai, Nina and Zoya and Nina's from Six of Crows but the other right Zoya I'm not going insane yeah but Nikolai and Zoya from Shadow and Bone and I just like don't connect to that world as much and I love Nina but I don't necessarily love Nina in this series so I'm nervous. I've been really scared to read it but I think it's time let's finish off another geology. I finished my first series of the year and it took me four months the other day and it's got me excited to finish more series so we're gonna get it read. Row number four we've got person number one okay we've got fantasy again we've got green let's see how many we roll we've got a six and a two can I get to the rows in that one two three four five oh I don't know if we can one two three four I don't think we can we have to go for something else uh one two three four five six which is number 14 oh my god no it's a buck with all the letters of my name in the title I hate this one then we had a fantasy with all the letters of my first name in the title and it was hard sometimes I get this I get this fairly often it's sometimes it seems to be a prompt that TBR Cluedo enjoys giving me it's not one that I enjoy getting easily I sorted my fantasy shelf because I organise on Goodreads like all my unread books into their genres for TBR Cluedo so it's easier to find them and I sorted my fantasy shelf into like date added so the newest ones for my TBR at the top and I scrolled through and I picked the first book that I found that had all the letters of my name and title and it's a book that I got over a year ago it took me a long time to find one and the book that I'm going to be reading this month one way or another is Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sulin Tan it's we've been waiting we've been waiting to read it and it's happening here's the situation you might be been wondering Megan why are you not holding up your beautiful gorgeous copy of this and that is because it's wrapped up right it's wrapped up and I thought about unwrapping it to hold it up but I was like if I could get it for wrapped up this one that would be good so what we're gonna try and do is I'm gonna film my unwrapped for this month at some point my unwrapping of the books and I'm gonna try and get Daughter of the Moon Goddess usually I forgot on what half the books that are wrapped up are I just go in pick one blind okay but I'm gonna try and get Daughter of the Moon Goddess I know it's a hard back I know it's fairly thick we're gonna try and get it that might be wrapped up this month if not I'll put it into another video but all right I mean I forgot on half what this book's about because it's been so long like literally shame on me but I think it's about the girls Daughter of the Moon Goddess who's been exiled and she's trying to like get back to her mother or save her mother or what have you and I've just had a lot of good things about this it was a lot of people's like favorites of the year list and I mind my copy is the most gorgeous book I own it's I'm not kidding it's like one of the most gorgeous books I own so I have to love it I've already bought the sequel the special fairy lute edition because I love the first one so much I wanted them to match I'm not that kind of girl if you know me I'm usually not super bothered about special editions I don't usually get them but I was like the first book is so beautiful I have to get the magic second one it's a problem so I have to love it because I've made a significant financial investment and there's no choice in the matter so yeah it will either be in wrapped up or another video okay row number five I'd like to get one of the weapons person number eight which is blue over in contemporary let's see how many we roll whoa okay we've got a two and a two oh okay let's just go one two and get ah I just dropped it get the candlestick which one's that again oh a candlestick is phone a friend okay so then I got the candlestick super weapon so this one's phone a friend usually this would be a booktuber but I forgot that I got this I filmed these a

really know much about that one you don't be honest you can pick it if you want damn picking this one okay take my hand by Deline Perkins Valdez I actually don't know what it's about it's got a very nice cover yep seems like a very sweet story okay it's by the doctor a young black nurses shocking discovery and burning quest for justice and post-segregation alabama bamma from the best seller

years to get around to this one if he hadn't picked it so there we go guys please let me know what you thought of this if you read this but it's a nice cover he's right okay I was hoping he'd pick like one of my new releases from here but he's picked this okay okay final roll person number three which is red over here in historical let's see how many roll a three and a five let me just put that book back let's go one two three four five and that is number 22 which is a title with three words and then my final roll was a historical with three words in the title and I originally was going to pick a different book for this but I was chatting to my patrons yesterday about a vlog that I've got coming this month that I didn't know what to pick for it and they mentioned this book and it fits the prompt so we're going with it I'm going to be reading wait no I'm not oh shit it would clap if you've ever wanted to kill somebody it was just song of Achilles it's this song of Achilles well I still am gonna be reading this but now I need to find something else to read can we double up because take my hand is a historical with three words I was so proud of myself for getting this into the tbl I was like oh my god that works and it's the song of Achilles let's have a look on my historical oh my god what am I gonna read what are these do I want to read I don't want to read any of these ones that three words yet oh my god oh no we're almost out of historical books I don't have one that I want to read do we just go with the other book that I was gonna read but then I've swapped okay here's the thing I even know where this book is because I wasn't going to read it anymore originally I was going to pick escaping from Houdini by Kara Mina Skullcoat but then I swapped out the video this was in because I could fit so I could get into the tbr so I didn't have to read this this month so I wasn't planning on doing that video anymore and I swapped in other books for a different video this is this is chaotic oh no this is the worst this is the worst this is the worst yeah okay let's just put escaping from Houdini on the tbr this is the third in the Talking Jack the Ripper series we've got I never remember these characters Audrey Rose Wadsworth and Thomas Cresswell and on this one I think is it the Titanic not the Titanic but they're on a boat to America and maybe Houdini's

to finishing it soon this is the third one fourth one is capturing the devil I always feel like I should love these more than I do I think of them as like a three to four you know like a three point five the first two but it's got like mixed media which I love like it really puts you in the historical setting like look there's like pictures and I really feel like I should love it more than I do but it's we'll finish the series off okay oh no I've just made a whole mess of things oh well love you guys that's the end of tbr clear over this month I'm not feeling positive anymore but we live and
